Easter: What's all the hubbub about?

Yeah, yeah, He's risen, but I need a job; I need to be free from depression; I need inner peace; I need victory over bad habits

So what’s all the hubbub about?
It’s not that it can’t be proven that Jesus lived, died and was resurrected; it’s that it means nothing to so many people for a variety of reasons
Because they have never experienced transformation
Because they don’t believe things ever change – all is determined by nature and chemistry
Because those that believe Jesus arose don’t live transformed lives
(Of course, what is the definition of transformed, sometimes any slight perceived imperfection is interpreted as “see, it doesn’t work” not taking into account a lifetime of struggle and victory)
Because it has not been tried for “fear of faith” (Is. 7:9, "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all")
Go ahead and believe that Jesus rose from the dead anyway: Go ahead, make my day! Believe!

Five Results for us if there is no resurrection

The gospel is empty and lifeless
The apostles were lying hucksters
Faith has no basis in reality; it is a pipe dream
The dead are gone forever; we have no hope
Following Christ is a pathetic joke

But if Christ is resurrected:

The gospel is good news and absolutely true
The history of the gospel, Christianity and the church is valid
Our faith rests on historical and logical truths
There is more to life than this life, and we will see our loved ones who were in Christ in eternity
This life has ultimate meaning and holds full joy and satisfaction in Christ
